About Samantha C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take time to learn each dog’s individual needs, preferences, and routines. Whether it's medications, allergies, or special toys, I go the extra mile to make sure your dog feels at home. A peaceful alternative to busy, noisy kennels, ideal for dogs that prefer a slower pace. I’m trained to handle any behavior issues or emergencies that may arise. I keep your dog’s health and safety a top priority at all times, following best practices for pet care. To keep everyone safe, please ensure your pets are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. 🪱🚫

Information Samantha C. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any medical conditions or allergies I should be aware of? Behavioral Traits/ Social Preference: Does your dog have any specific behavioral needs, triggers, or fears (e.g., separation anxiety, noise sensitivity)? How does your dog interact with other dogs or people?
A typical day
Dogs crave adventure. They receive daily walks up to twice a day where they get to sniff to their hearts desire and explore the neighborhood at their own pace. Not only that but we go on car rides, have picnics at the park, go on an field trips to local hiking spots, chill on a patio downtown, or hit up the local drive thru for a pup-cup.. I match your pups energy. When it's time to relax, I have various enrichment items such as kongs, lick mats, nylabones, and toys. Safe to say, dog will never be bored here. I also incorporate gentle, reward-based training throughout the day to encourage good behaviors, whether it's reinforcing basic obedience or specific training goals. Each day is designed to keep your pet happy.

Good Dogs Deserve Good Vibes
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Sam and I'm a professional dog trainer who offers personalized pet care that includes: walks, drop ins, and boarding in my quiet apartment. I specialize in peaceful, one-on-one care for dogs who thrive in low-energy environments. No busy yards, no chaos—just expert attention, quiet walks, and a relaxing home where your pup can truly decompress. In addition to boarding, I offer calm, enriching walks tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. Whether your pup loves a slow sniff stroll or needs structured leash work, I bring professional training experience to every walk. It’s not just a potty break—it’s purposeful time outdoors that supports their wellbeing.
Reviews
Second time booking Samantha, who was a referral from a coworker. I have two cats - one of them being medically complex and I feel relief knowing they are in her competent hands. I trust she has good judgement and cares for them. Last time I booked she allowed me to book an extra day last minute after I got stuck in a snowstorm. This time she turned on different lights and the tv for my cats to watch, which cracked me up but I thought was so kind and a cute idea. Thank you so much, Samantha!
Great communication
Amanda was AMAZING! Milo loved her. We will definitely book with her again and will be looking forward for being Milo’s permanent sitter.
Samantha takes such good care of our dog. She is very reliable, professional and caring. We know Maggie is in good hands during the bookings. We cannot recommend Samantha enough!
